If there’s a question, concern, idea, opinion or decision you want to talk about…

What can my submission look like?

You could tell us about an event or experience, a cause you’re involved in, highlight an important aspect of an issue or respond to something that has happened - like this article we posted after sexual assault allegations in parliament here.

This is completely up to you!
You can explore issues or tell your story in any form you would like- want to keep it conversational? Great! Prefer to say formal? That’s cool too!
You can stick to just words or you can embed images, gifs and videos if you like.
You have free reign over structure too. You can write a traditional blog post, listicle, a letter or whatever else suits you and what you’re writing about.
